The Floating Axe Head

2 Kings 6:1-7

And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too strait for us.

Let us go, we pray thee, unto the Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.

And one said, Be pleased, I pray thee, to go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.

So he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.

But as one was felling a beam, the axe-head fell into the water; and he cried, and said, Alas, my master! for it was borrowed.

And he said, Take it up to thee. So he put out his hand, and took it.
